My labor was soo weird I'm a ftm had contractions for four days but only was 75% effeced and not dilated at all, crazy part was the contractions i had were already active labor stages. I was sent home and was going back fourth to the hospital and back to my house. Finally on the 27th at 2am i couldn't take it anymore i went back to the hospital and my pains just were bad finally i was 2cm so doctor told me to stay the night and in the morning id get my water broken since i was dilating supper slow.. 8Am my water was broken but my pains were no longer there i had dilated to a 4 by the time. Within 2 hours i was asked if i wanted the epidural i wanted to go all natural but ha ing to go thru 4 days of contractions i couldnt take it so i said yes at 10:15am i had my epidural put in once i was barley lying in bed i felt like i had to poop i told the nurse and she checked me said i went to a 7 cm dilated. I kept telling the nurse i really had to go but i couldnt take it anymore they leftthe room and i started pushing without evsn knowing it my lil girl was coming and my epidural wasnt even active nurses come running into the room wondering how in the hell did i dilate so fast my babys head was out even before my doc gotinto the room. 10:30Am my little emily was born only got one little stitch and didnt even need the epidural. Im so happy to finally have her in my arms momas that are still waiting for there baby what helped me alot was a warm 15 min bath with a bit of apsom salt made baby come out right away. Good luck and god bless
